I know I talk about this all the time, but…

Time is going by so quickly.

It’s crazy to look back on events that have occurred in my life and think, Dang, I remember that or Dude, that was a hella long time ago. I never really believed anyone when they first told me that high school goes by quickly and to therefore enjoy it. But now that I’m in the second semester of my junior year, I’m finding it to be more true now than it ever was. Honestly, I love high school. Despite all the stupid things I let myself go through and all the unnecessary drama that unraveled, I know that all the experiences I have gone through have made me who I am today. It’s cliche, but high school really shows you who you are, what you’re capable of, and who will be by your side through thick and thin.

Another reason why I’ve enjoyed my high school career so far is because of the activities my school holds for the student body. From night assemblies to sports games, to lunchtime activities and talent shows—my school has a lot to offer and I wish more students took the opportunity to attend these events because we were so close to having them stripped away from us. Honestly, it really bothers me when there are those kids who are like, “Nah this is stupid” or have that I’m-too-cool-to-participate attitude. I wish they could see how much our ASB and leadership class work their butts off to hold these events.

Anyways, back to my main point.. Just thinking about everything that has happened in the last three years is so indescribable. Because here I am, thinking about what classes to take next year and what to do with my life after being a senior.

To all you underclassmen, I know you hear it all the time, but just enjoy high school. Don’t try to grow up too fast and always work hard at everything you do. Forget the drama because honestly, no one is going to care about the stupid arguments how many years from now. Take every opportunity that’s in front of you and never give up on yourself. Never be afraid to try something new, because you never know: it could become something you develop a passion for. And most importantly, don’t forget to be true to yourself because no matter what other people think of you, all that matters is that you’re happy with who you are.
